In this special episode of 10/3, National Post’s Robert Cribb sits down with award-winning journalist Rick Westhead to discuss his bestselling and deeply unsettling book, We Breed Lions. A book where Rick looks into systemic sexual abuse, toxic masculinity, and institutional failures within Canadian junior hockey — and examines how a culture built on loyalty and silence allowed harm to persist for decades.
